Personalized Calendars

You canít make a more personal gift than one that contains pictures of loved ones and dates important to the recipient.

Although this project is very time consuming, it is also very rewarding. Once you have the photos edited and main holidays input, additional calendars are easy to create.

This project is rated DIFFICULT to do.

How To Make It

1. Decide on the size and style of the calendar you wish to create. This could range from a 2 page (picture on top) wall calendar, a full-size weekly planner with small pictures, or a smaller planner version.

2. Edit 12 photos, cleaning up backgrounds, adding fun features, and even adding names or dates to the pictures. Save each picture as a "month" file name.

3. Input the holidays in the calendar. Save this file and name it as "basic" or something to indicate it is the beginning calendar for all your other calendars.

4. Now add birthdays and other special occasions that relate only to the first recipient on your list. Save this file with their name as the file name.

5. Print the photos on the glossy side of the paper.

6. Print the calendar on the backside. Stock up on your Photo Cartridges if you plan on making several of these calendars.

Note: Be sure to plan ahead on how to print these calendars. The first page will be a "greeting page" with something like "Merry Christmas Sally From The Mehl Family" on the non-glossy side of the paper. January's PICTURE will then print on the glossy side. January's calendar will print on the next page on the non-glossy side.

7. Take each page out of the printer as it finishes. Be sure to let each of these pages dry before reinserting and printing the back side.

8. Hole punch if the calendar is for a weekly planner. Thread ribbon through holes and tie in a bow.

9. Take a wall calendar to the local office supply store and ask them to hole punch and GBC bind the calendars. Some stores will let you punch and bind it yourself for a lesser charge. Ask if you can purchase a "box" of GBC bindings and do it yourself.

10. Wrap and give as gifts. Don't forget to make one for yourself.

Tips I went through pictures of my children from the previous 12 months (except for December, I got their pictures with Santa taken early in the month) and used those as my subjects. Get creative, crop out those backgrounds and use ones in your graphics programs to spice them up a bit.

My children dressed up as M&M candies for Halloween. My graphics program had a background of M&M candies. Our Santa pictures we took were individual ones, so I took all three shots and put them into a backdrop that would allow all three pictures on one page.

Notes: I would recommend this only for someone with at least a 133 MHz or faster computer as dealing with a lot of graphics tends to slow down your computer.

I would also recommend having at least 64 MB RAM, and shutting down any unnecessary programs that are running in the background. I am speaking from experience as when I originally tried this craft, I was running on a 50 MHz machine and it became very frustrating waiting for the programs to manipulate the graphics.
